Chris Woods: Flatlining at Age 40 and Waking Up With a 50-Year Mission

Chris Woods is a Certified Professional Coach and the author of the book "Balls & Brains: A framework for living your best life by overcoming fears and maximizing strengths." "Balls & Brains" is a no-nonsense, actionable guide for people seeking to break free from self-imposed limitations and step into their fullest potential. Chris Woods combines personal storytelling, psychological frameworks, and practical exercises to help readers overcome fear (Balls) and maximize their innate strengths (Brains). This isn't just another self-help book, it's a roadmap for those who are tired of playing small and ready to lead with courage and clarity. Chris brings decades of experience as a four-time global C-suite executive and former Google sales leader. He has led at scale, made high-stakes decisions, and lived inside the pressure that comes with responsibility and ambition. He rose up from a rough upbringing in a tough area of Boston - the original "Good Will Hunting". At 40 years old, Chris flatlined in a hospital bed. That moment forced him to confront not just his health, but how he was defining success and the internal fears driving his choices. It changed everything. Today, he coaches from lived experience—not theory. He helps leaders and professionals align who they are with what they do, so success feels energizing instead of exhausting. https://chriswoodscoach.com/ [https://chriswoodscoach.com/]
